I think Annoying Greek Person could get round a dealer ban on Greece if they wanted. I run two ebay contact/shipping address: one UK and one US that I toggle between so that I can bid on American auctions that are restricted non-US bidders. If I win a US auction I get the item sent to my brother's house in PA and forwarded on to me. I have never had to provide any information to ebay re: these addresses, I just set them up (and could set them up in Timbukto and Biafra should I so desire). Neil

It seems blocking "proficient911" from bidding is just one way to stop him. But if you want to permanently prevent that buyer from messing up your sales - why not, if he/she registers with a new ID - just ban bidders from Greece altogether? -d. ________________________________ Date: Sat, 17 Mar 2012 13:49:16 -0700 From: sa...@comic-art.com Subject: Re: welcome tp greece To: MoPo-L@LISTSERV.AMERICAN.EDU location will be noted by IP address David At 01:36 PM 3/17/2012, David Kusumoto wrote: I asked this before. If you're still using eBay, why don't you guys just ban buyers from Greece? I know it's draconian, but things are unsettled over there, e.g., like dealing a buyer registered in Nigeria. All eBay members are identified by the country from which they registered - and all sellers now have the ability to create a "default-country-by-country-exclusions list" on their selling templates. I'm not going to risk selling to countries with unreliable economies or postal systems. The only loophole question I'd have is: Is it possible for a bad eBay member to get a new ID - but register from a country that differs from what eBay requires to join? -d. > >>________________________________ > Date: Sat, 17 Mar 2012 15:27:49 -0400 >From: pcontar...@triad.rr.com >Subject: Re: welcome tp greece >To: MoPo-L@LISTSERV.AMERICAN.EDU > >Evidently he’s a she: > > > >SOFIA KALAKONA > >PAROS > >PARIKIA CYCLADES 84400 > >Greece > >Peter Contarino > >From: Richard Halegua Posters + Comic Art [mailto:sa...@comic-art.com] >Sent: Saturday, March 17, 2012 2:36 PM >To: peter contarino >Subject: Re: [MOPO] welcome tp greece > >give me his email & full name so I can make sure he isn't registered on MPB > >At 09:24 AM 3/17/2012, you wrote: > >Dear majesticposters, > >Hello from Greece. >Out of excitement and foolish rush, >I bid on three posters that I already >have in my collection. >Please,excuse me for the inconveniece, >show your good hearted leniency, >and subtract >the following items from my order: >1.DADDY LONG LEGS ONE SHEET -FRED ASTAIRE AND LESLIE CARON ...
